Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

To be sure, the development of computer technology has introduced new dynamics into the 21st century process of finding a mate. Internet chat rooms are quickly replacing bar rooms as a place for meeting available singles. Organizations such as Match.com, eHarmony.com, Facebook.com, and Xanga.com provide people a forum in which to place personal ads, blog daily journals of their life happenings, and place personal photos. These electronic liaisons allow people to remain anonymous or to fully self-disclose personal information about themselves.
Today, about 1 in 5 singles looks for love through the World Wide Web, instant messaging, on- line chat rooms, email, or internet video communication (Canadian Business, 2002 ). In one survey of over 4,500 internet users, respondents aged 18 -24 indicated that they met an average of 10 dating partners in on-line chat rooms (Hollander, 2003 ). Sexual hook-ups (see hooking up a bit later in this chapter) often resulted from the internet meetings.
There is a hazardous side to cyberdating, however. While you may be looking for love, the person on the other end of the mouse may be looking for a quick sexual encounter or may have even more dangerous intentions. About one-third of internet daters lie about their marital status, and some rejected daters may begin to cyber-stalk or harass their internet companion (Plotnikoff, 1994).
